From the NYCBTA President Welcome to NYCBTA… Thank you visiting this fall and hopefully this means you are interested in either attending or learning more about one of meetings or our organization general. After kicking off the season with a GBTA Hotel Sourcing workshop your chapter has a robust schedule for you in the coming months. Inclusive in that schedule are our now famous After Dark events and of course our now annual November meeting at the amazing and iconic 21 Club. We will close the year with our annual holiday party and more details to follow on that event. This summer while at the annual GBTA convention in Denver, I had the great honor of attending the Chapter president’s Council dinner and much to my surprise NYCBTA was recognized as the oldest chapter in the organization. As president and I know I speak for our board when we say that we are humbled by the mission to continually improve and evolve a chapter that has such historical significance. Lastly, it is almost that time again to begin thinking about renewal of membership and most importantly encouraging your colleagues, customers and friends to also consider joining NYCBTA. In addition, we will will be looking in the coming days for our 2012 sponsors and most importantly our 2012 Trade Show. Eric Norberg President, NYCBTA
